[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Quickvic30:
Well I got something to flash, not sure if it was the modem though, is there anyways to check? It booted to a screen with the blue android and it flashed something but it didn't say what it was flashing so idk if it worked or not. My signal strength hasn't changed at all for the better. I also manually added the ATT RIL's from the dragons air thread.

There has to be a way to flash this with odin PC. I have some cash for someone if they can figure it out :D . I also have the one click odin file but i'm unsure how to add the file to the one click.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mohan_kr:
logcat

I seriously doubt if the ODIN flash *really* did flash the modem, I have tried dd and writing to partitions but it does not seem to *take*, it appears that it is locked somehow. You baseband should definitely show the correct version if flashed or "unknown". Do you have a logcat? It should show what the reported firmware is..

T-Mo Modem

Can anybody point me in the direction of a T-Mobile modem thread or a download location for them? I can not find them anywhere. I have looked high and low!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Quickvic30:
I don't think there is any.......you could try getting the modem from a exctracted stock rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vegas217:
Here is my thing....I flashed a international ROM and when it flashed the ROM it gives the option of flashing a new CSC. I had to pick one an none of them were for USA. Also I am not sure if I am getting LTE since there isn't an LTE symbol under the network icon. Is there a way to check if I am getting LTE? An app perhaps?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aalupatti:
Check speed using speed test

Or use an app like network signal info.

Also if international rom shows 4G it means it's LTE. Otherwise it would only show H+
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vegas217:
Lol that's exactly what I just got done doing. Thanks for the confirmation!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Quickvic30:
To check if your getting LTE you can go into settings/general/about device/status/ then look at network mode. Make sure you are in a area you know you were getting LTE before you flashed the INT rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] redbike:
Ok guys

I have the note 3 N9005, the LTE doesn't work with T-Mobile .

Can I flash T-mobile modem on it ???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cpufrost:
Yup, I don't think it's doing anything. No changes in signal for me, still pretty low inside, -114dBm

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Quickvic30:
You could sure try if you can find a T-Mobile modem tar to flash. I extracted the modem from the Stock ROM but I'm not sure how to make/turn it into a flashable tar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Quickvic30:
Anyone have luck flashing this with PC odin yet?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] davidz911:
When you guys flashed darth stalker v4 rom did you select at&t sm-n900a despite having the sm-900t for t mobile? I flashed the carrier files for t mobile first on mine and figured out that you are supposed to select at&t, if that is the network you are using the phone on. After doing that I had coverage in more area with increased signal strengths and speeds increased in same testing areas from 10 mbs to 42 mbs downloading. Btw this is my first post ever on any online form so go easy on me if I did something wrong. Thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Pikezer1337:
Right now I'm in about the exact same spot with a Tmobile phone with ATT sim and a plain ATT phone.

The ATT is at 75dm and the Tmobile is at 96dm. Theres definately a big difference so hopefully this works out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rockinandroid:
gonna be trading att note 3 for tmobile note 3.....i have att note 3 now...where or how can i extract the modem to flash on my tmobile phone when i get it....thanks for any help....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jayster0966:
That's useful info. Time to give DarthStalker a shot then, and will report any changes in signal strength.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rockinandroid:
Hey Thanks for the info...i am getting my tmobile note 3 saturday and will flash darth stalker and choose...att...i can see how you can mix that up....thanks again....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jayster0966:
Tried that ROM for a couple of days and did not really see any difference except for the carrier label and APN are set automatically. Everyone has their own version of results but in my case it really did not help. Returned to my favorite ROM as it seems smoother for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] indecentspeech:
Try downloading the Network Signal Info app from the Play Store and under cell: look for the third line were it says (LAC - Local Area Code) and see if compared to another ATT LTE phone if that number is the same. If it's not then you know it is hitting a different tower then your Note 3 and thus might have better signal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jayster0966:
Will give it a try to to satisfy my curiosity. I'll download to my wife's G-Pro and my N3 and will compare.

EDIT: Downloaded the app 3 different times but unfortunately it FC's. Oh well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Quickvic30:
So I tried flashing all the note 2 ATT modems via TWRP, UCAM3 caused bootloop, MJ4 caused bootloop, UCAH flashed and the phone booted up but the baseband still said UVUBMI7 :( arghhhhhhh
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sixk:
any updates with actual dbm measurements?

really curious if this will help me signal
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cpufrost:
Waste of time IMHO and if you softbrick even more inconvenience.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Pikezer1337:
To be honest guys for me I just put my phone into GSM only and when I want to use my data I turn it to LTE. Try it. When I had LTE on my signal was around 91dm. At the exact same time my ATT Note 3 was at 75. Then I just turned it to GSM only and it went down to 68dm. Yeah it's an inconvenience but if yo are going to be near Wifi all day and want better signal just do that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cpufrost:
This is exactly what I'm experiencing.

To top it off I work in a bunker that has 0 signal and uses a repeater system that has a tower outside to "bring down" the signal to this workspace. It's not LTE compatible I'm told and I only see HSPA+ but strong signals typically as high as -45dBM in this area. Upstairs LTE hangs around -105 to as low as -115dBm however if I turn off LTE it jumps up to -70dBM!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] davidz911:
Flashed modem

Okay so I changed my build prop to gain support for mobile odin and flashed the modem provided in this thread and had a decrease in signal strength and dbm dropped by 6 immediately after flashing in same place previously tested. However I would recommend trying the stainless international rom or dragon air rom as they have included at&t rils, stainless rom is currently my daily driver and I am seeing increased signal strengths of 10 dbm. Verified using ookla speed test and network signal info app. I hope this helps and works for you guys as it has for me. Let me know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] davidz911:
Hey bud sorry you didn't see and change with that rom. Since then I have moved to using stainless international rom v2, at&t radio interface layers were built into rom so I would strongly recommend trying it out or dragon air as at&t rils were built into that one as well. I verified improvement with ookla and signal info app. I hope this works, let me know what you think.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] daraj:
Is there a flash able at&t modem file somewhere? thru Twrp or CWM?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TeeravX13:
This would definitely be a first on flashing modems for me but not really sure where I'm going wrong...

I am running rooted stock on the SM-900T, but when I try to flash the unzipped .bin (after modifying the build.prop to a SM-9005 for mOdin) it seems to destroy my roms to the point they crash and I have to restore a factory image and start over.

When you load the .bin into mobile odin, is it going into modem 2 for your before you continue the flash?

Thanks for the help!

Update: Fixed - the issue occured because of changes that RegionLock away had applied to my modem previously. Signal seems to be better, thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] daraj:
did the modem install? or it still displays the tmo one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TeeravX13:
It looks to have installed correctly in recovery- so I assumed it worked. I'm showing the baseband hasn't changed. Is there an easy way to check what modem is installed? From what I saw in settings there wasn't.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] V@no:
Just out of curiosity, does sim unlock has anything to do with modem? My understanding that RegionLock Away app patches modem...maybe it's somehow related to modem not getting updated?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] daraj:
Im not sure if that is directly related to the low reception we are getting. If that's true, then wouldn't flashing back Tmobile stock image(which contains stock modem) improve signal? I tried it and nothing improved.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stash9123:
i just flashed the n900a nc2 modem image using mobile odin 4.10 running kitkat on my n900t went from getting a -104 stable to -95 stable. i then used regular odin to reflash stock n900t nb4 modem and went back to my -104db signal. now even though it does still show that i am on nb4 baseband it has obviosly worked for me as i have never had a signal strength that strong heres to hoping in the next few days i have no lte data issues as i would always have a decent signal but the connection was always dropping

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ukcain:
Andrew,

Are you in kit kat 4.4.2 when you flash the modem or 4.3?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Lorettaa:
my brother's note 3 was flashed 4.4.2, doing fine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Andrew149:
Yes I'm on 4.4.2 and I'm pretty sure that the modem didn't take now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ajm786:
I just switched to AT&T from T-mobile.

Can anyone provide a step by step guide on how to flash the ATT modem so that I get better signal? I'm aware that the change probably won't take in the status (will still be read as NB4), but I'm curious and would like to get the same kind of dB improvement that you all are reporting here.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
I'm not reading this entire thread -- this (page 2) is as far as I got.

Changing the software is not going to change signal strength. The signal strength can only be improved by increased transmit power or an improved transmit antenna. The receiver (your phone) can make better use of that signal with a better antenna. The software has no part in this.

But software can miscalculate signal strength, and software can also report that strength using a different scale. I have two WIFI radios for my laptop -- one built in and the other USB. I am about 100 meters from the WIFI router. The USB radio reports a signal strength of 100% but frequently looses the signal and has very bad transfer rates. The built-in radio reports a signal strength of 10% but stays connected longer and has better transfer rates.

I think what you are seeing with your signal bars is only a reflection of the honesty of the providers.

OK, So I'm using a T-Mobile Note3 with a ATT Straight Talk Sim card.. The phone is currently on the T-Mobile Nf1 baseband running an aosp Carbon Rom 4.4.4. I would really like to flash an ATT modem to the device.. IS this possible? If so could someone please chime in and advise how to do this? I guess I would also need an att modem file as well as the T-Mobile modem incase things go crazy I would need to revert back. In my case I'm not necessarily interested in stronger signal strength but quicker/stronger tower handoffs. Anyone?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drbrainsol:
Hey all!

I bought a phone from China (Lenovo A706...quiet good value for money) and I received it with english software, play store access etc. Now...most people who ordered it from China were not that lucky. Because the phone is listed as China only, it does not have play store access out of the box and most of the apps are in Chinesse. Also, there is virtually no development for this phone in the English speaking world (there are some Russians working on roms but...russian is as bad as Chinesse for most of us :D )

I have managed to install CWM using a Russian guide (google translate rulls!) and I would like to use that to somehow share the rom on my phone with the community. The question is...how do I do that? Also, the backup was done with my google account signed in so I would obviously want to delete that before I upload it anywhere lmao :P

I do have some experience of messing with roms and all (my main phone is a Nexus 4 after all...) but I never cooked a rom myself :)

Thx for helping a noobish guy. It is for the greater good, trust me :D

P.S. If I download one of the Russian roms (which are to be flashed with CWM..easy peasy) and replace my system folder with the system folder in their ROM would that work? I'm talking about the same baseband ofc :)

[HTC Desire X] xdaegholm:
For a keyboard like SwiftKey it is also strongly related to lookups in the language packs. If you disable them you'll probably see a speedup. However, that is not worth much since that would render the keyboard useless.

But since the language packs are stored on the SD card, what you could try is to change your card to a faster one (although I reckon proper caching should have taken care of that? but maybe... [also you could try changing the cache-size for the SD card])

This boot animation is based on the Blacklight: Retribution in-game loading screen.

As a frequent player of Blacklight: Retribution, I've always wanted something Blacklight themed on my phone. :D

It should work fine with any phone that has a display resolution of 720x1280 or 480x800 provided that you download the right ZIP, have a compatible phone and put bootanimation.zip in the right location for the ROM you're using. Check it out and let me know how it works for you! :)

If you're on an AOSP based rom(CyanogenMod, AOKP, Paranoid Android etc.) you can download the flashable ZIP and flash it in recovery. The flashable ZIP will not work on HTC Sense or TouchWIZ ROMs.

I am having major radio issues. I am using latest cyanogenmod nightly(10.2) but this issue is also present with slimkat and cyanogenmod 10.1 RC so it's not specific to cyanogenmod 10.2. This effects both wifi and 3g. I have attempted several reflashes with clearing cache and formatting data partition.

I would get a good signal status icon(and it's blue in cyanogenmod, i know when it's gray it doesn't have connectivity) but I keep getting no connection messages on anything that uses internet connectivity. Sometimes I can put it into airplane mode and off again and it would restore connection. other times when attempting to put it into airplane mode it gets stuck in airplane mode and the option is disabled to get it back out. Not sure if it ever finishes getting into airplane mode or not. Restarting the phone fixes the issue. Toggling wifi does nothing.
